Kim Hyun-gi, Chairperson of the Seoul Metropolitan Council, attended the 2023 Seoul City Integrated Defense Meeting held at Seoul City Hall on the 3rd.

The Integrated Defense Meeting is held at least once a year under the 'Integrated Defense Act' to establish regional security and integrated defense posture.

About 300 people attended, including Mayor Oh Se-hoon, the Capital Defense Commanding General, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Chief, members of the Seoul City Integrated Defense Council, district mayors, and security policy advisory committee members.

Chairperson Kim Hyun-gi stated, "General Mark Milley, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, has assessed that 'the Korean Peninsula is a region that could fall into a state of war within days,' indicating that our security situation remains unstable. Meanwhile, North Korea is increasing the frequency and intensity of its military provocations and focusing on demonstrating its nuclear capabilities, while global affairs are also in turmoil, heightening tensions."

He continued, "Therefore, a new concept of integrated defense strategy and an organic cooperative posture that can swiftly respond to the current complex security crisis are urgently needed. The Seoul Metropolitan Council will stand as a firm pillar of security to ensure that the organic integrated defense posture of civilians, government, military, police, and fire services operates properly in any emergency, making Seoul a 'Security Capital'."

At the Integrated Defense Meeting, five meritorious organizations (Jongno Fire Station, Jongno Police Station, Seoul Metro, 56th Division 221st Brigade, and 52nd Division Bangbae 4-dong Unit) received commendations.
